It would allow the urbanites to get a feel for how food is made, and require a space "manager" to ensure there are the protocols for biosecurity, etc. I suspect several people would try it for a few years, especially when their children are in grade school, then go on to let the professionals grow the food after they are tired of the chores. And I'm sure the cities are full of immigrants who would stay with such a project long term, as it's part of their ethnicity.
